Planned on using these tools for my "Bad Yellow Pages Ad". Unfortunately, with the wrench already incorporated into the design, this just made the ad look too busy.

GRA210: 4 Elements of Graphic Design/Bad Yellow Pages Ad

So it's the start of another semester at Seneca College. This semester runs some classes as a "compressed course", meaning that instead of class once a week, we have some classes that run twice a week, but for only 7 of the 14 weeks. So with compressed classes, time management is paramount.

So out first 2 assignments in GRA210 (Graphic Design 1) involved once piece demonstrating the 4 elements of effective design (Contrast, Repetiton, Alignment and  Proximity) or CRAP for short. The second one involved selecting one god awful ad from a list and improving vastly on it.

Size and Scale project

A project from awhile ago. What we had to do was to choose two objects contrasting in form/shape (straight vs. curved etc.), draw them using cross hatching for shading, graphically translate the two objects and then arrange them into 6 different compositions based scaled up/down images.

6 different size compositions. The numbers indicated how much % the ball and knife had to be scaled down and up respectively.
